BlackBerry Messenger

by Robb Dunewood on August 1, 2005 · 31 comments

BlackBerry Messenger is a new application from Research in Motion that allows you to chat with other BlackBerry wireless device users in real time directly from your BlackBerry handheld.   Features include:

  • PIN to PIN real time messaging
  • Group Chat
  • File Transfer
  • Contact Status
  • Message delivery status

BlackBerry Messenger combines the reliability and exceptional user experience of BlackBerry with the familiar look-and-feel of instant messaging programs.

BlackBerry Messenger is available for download from the BlackBerry website and only works in Internet Explorer.  If you own a BlackBerry, this is definitely one download that you don’t want to miss.

    I got really excited about Blackberry Messenger until I read “not supported by Cingular” on the download site. I hope Cingular adds support for it in the near future.

    I was able to get it on verizon, but now If only I knew someone else who had one….

    If you get here. And have bbm. Ping me. EJ Wasson is my I’d.

    anyone know a way to install BB messenger on the motorola Q, or a program that can connect to a PC to message BB’s?

    Q Dude,

    This cannot be done because BB Messenger works on RIM’s network via PIN messaging.

    If would be interesting to see if RIM makes a BB Messenger Client for devices that run BlackBerry Connect.

    I LOVE bb msgr! It’s so much fun. Yahoo has an agreement with Rogers and the
    msgr is on the actaul phone. I wonder when they’re going to get MSN. That would be the best!!!!

    Emilie,

    Rumor has it that a MSN Messenger Client for the BlackBerry could come out by the end of the year.

    Mike,

    There is an entire thread with people posting the PIN numbers so that you can add them to your messenger buddy list over on BlackBerry Forums. You will have to supply either your BlackBerry PIN or an email address, however.
